This beachside site, perfect for families, has a wonderfully natural feel and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. A small, fenced river runs through the site and shrubs grow around the pitches, offering some privacy. There's a large pool complex, and sports and play areas. The adjacent beach is an ideal natural playground for children.
The surrounding area is popular for walking, cycling and birdwatching, and ferries can be caught to Jersey and Guernsey from the nearby ports of Granville and Dielette. Close to Cherbourg, this site is ideally located for exploring Normandy. Bayeux and Saint-Lô, with its rampart, towers and Fine Art Museum, which recounts the history of tapestry, are just over an hour’s drive.

Lovely site great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Location great right on the beach and near to local town and restaurants. Easy access from Cherbourg. Pitches a little small and some challenging acces but well worth a visit.
